2. PRECAUTIONS
VT1010E/VT1510E 5
2. PRECAUTIONS
Failure to observe these precautions may damage your car, the monitor, or the video
source, and may void the warranty.
For questions or problems not covered in this manual, contact your local Clarion Dealer.
OPERATING
Do not operate this product in ways other than those described in this manual.
Failure to follow instructions may void the warranty.
Do not use the unit with the ignition off. This could drain the car’s battery.
If the internal temperature of the vehicle is extremely high (over 50 degrees Celsius),
let the unit cool down a bit before you use it.
If the temperature in the car is very low (below -5 degrees Celsius), starting the unit
right after you start the car with its heater running may cause moisture to form in the
unit. Do not power on the unit for an hour. Failure to do so may cause an electrical
short. Allow about one hour for the condensation to dissipate before using the unit.
In extremely cold temperatures the picture may appear dark and move slowly. The
display returns to normal when the temperature rises.
When operating the unit, ensure you are seated with your seat belt fastened, or parked
in a safe location. Otherwise, you may be injured if the driver brakes suddenly. In an
accident, injuries may be more severe if your seat belt is not fastened.
Before leaving the vehicle, eject the disc and store it separately away from direct
sunlight. Heat and humidity can damage discs causing them not to play.
GENERAL
Do not leave the monitor open when the unit is not in use. Direct sunlight can cause the
monitor to malfunction.
Do not hang onto or hang items from the overhead monitor.
Do not pour liquid into the unit or insert foreign objects into the DVD drive slot. Water,
humidity and foreign objects may damage internal circuitry.
If the unit becomes wet, turn off all power and consult your authorized Clarion Dealer
for service. Do not operate the unit until it has been inspected and repaired.
Do not drop the unit or hit the LCD panel. You may cause permanent damage.
If the LCD breaks, avoid touching the glass and fluid. If you do touch the fluid, clean it
off your body and/or clothes with plenty of water, then get medical attention.
MAINTENANCE
Do not clean the surface of the LCD with chemical solvents or corrosive detergents.
Permanent damage to the screen may result. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Use a
soft, damp cloth to clean.
Do not disassemble or modify this unit. You may damage the monitor, void the
warranty, and suffer electric shock. Modification of this unit will void safety
certifications.
